Wal

Town the sprung up and was named for what is simply called The Device. It is located on the side of a cliff called The Divine Fingernail. The Device, which is part of the cliffside, is of unknown origins, but likely created during the Ancient Empire. When active it allowed three special letter tiles to be entered, then when the lever is pulled it pulls a version of the word in from elsewhere. For example if the letters E-L-K were entered and the lever was pulled an Elk would appear, if H-A-G was entered a fey Hag may appear or simply an old lady. It was discovered once around the Dark Days era by a group of adventurers. They utilized it for a bit, then entered 'O-F-F' which deactivated the device, at which time it activated sporadically utilizing random letters. The town grew over time due to the various items, creatures, and people that the device spat out. It wasn't until the Time of Transference when a hitherto unknown blank tile was brought by a group working for Euclideus. They utilized the blank tile to enter -O-N which reactivated the device fully, returning it to normal function.
